Possibility Thinking: Reimagining the future of Further Education and Skills
Possibility Thinking is a new collection of essays published by the RSA in collaboration with the Further Education Trust for Leadership (FETL).
A new report from FETL and the RSA recommends that the FE & skills sector must be an ‘agitator for change’ in each and every community if it is to take full advantage of the opportunities that await.

Each of the 8 essays in this collection responds to a different ‘what if’ question, with authors being invited to respond with deliberate idealism about the future possibilities. We have focused on what the sector can do for itself, mindful of the current policy context, and identifying ways that policy might enable, rather than constrain, sectoral innovation and public value. Authors have been chosen to represent a range of perspectives from within and outside FE and skills.
